Okay, I was a child of 12 or so at my local gym with a friend. We were talking and some old guy we didn't know came up and asked us this. We stared at him, dumbfounded for a few moments before he said, "it has no legs."
He walked away and I never saw him again.
Didn't one of the Mandalorian seasons offer a pseudo explanation?
Commenting to appease my anxiety, ignore me if I bother you.
Doctors generally recommend abstaining from sex for 6 weeks after giving birth.
I am under 40, but had "two spaces after a period," drilled into me as a kid. I only broke the habit in the last year, and it still feels weird every time I use just one.
Chickpeas, mushrooms, tomato paste, taco seasonings, fat of your choice (butter if you aren't vegan)
Bake the chickpeas and then smash them, mince the mushrooms. Bring together and sautee in olive oil with tomato paste, seasonings, incorporating your fat. Add salt to taste.
Makes a fantastic taco filling. Garnish with whatever you like.
What sudo is?
I interact differently even within my friends of the same gender. I will match the energy of the person I am talking to. Sally may be bubbly and excited, and I will to bring the same enthusiasm. Wendy is much quieter, and we talk slower and about different things.
Sally and Wendy are going to have a lot in common compared to Tom and Kenny thanks to social conditioning. Some people will just see the similarities and say, "boy friends act this way, girl friends act this way."
Fundamentally, there isn't a reason I need to treat Sally or Wendy differently than each other or to Tom and Kenny, but it works out that way a lot of times.
I understand your sentiment. Can I ask you to consider a scenario?
Imagine a company needs to hire a new employee. They have 9 white men, and need a 10th person. Whoever is hiring may not think they are prejudiced, but they need to consider how the new hire will fit in with the existing team.
They may be worried about how hiring a qualified woman will upset the dynamic. A qualified Hispanic with an accent may be overlooked if the hiring manager is concerned about their English skills. Any number of reasons that may not even be conscious, but influence the decision to hire another white man.
Do you think it is possible for DEI practices to ensure diverse and qualified candidates? Why does hiring a non-white have to mean they are less qualified? If we instead start with the assumption that qualified candidates exist from many backgrounds, hiring them in proportion to their representation in the population doesn't seem like a crazy idea.
I respect drag's pronouns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but referring to drag with "they" is not right?
They wouldn't say:
I like cheese.
They would say:
Drag likes cheese.
Not trying to pull a gotcha or anything, it just confuses me because I keep seeing comments defending drag's pronouns while also using they/them.
